ā€œ Ygnium, the Umbral Flames. Incinerate my foe and light my path. ā€ž
~ Melinoƫ

The Umbral Flames, Ygnium are Nocturnal Arms that can be unlocked with 3 Silver and 3 Cinder.

Book of Shadows entry[]

'...You are ready for the Umbral Flames of Ygnium. You are ready for them. Why, however, a weapon of light? In light, the darkness deepens, and the shadows dance. That is why. So much the better, then, that you have two such sources.'

Fighting style[]

Effectively akin to dual-wielding a pair of handguns, this wand pair fires low-strength piercing fireballs at a decent pace and range, and the Special has one orbit you. Charging the Ī© Attack switches it to a high-power mode where stronger fireballs are shot at a faster pace with a small Mana cost per shot, and the Ī© Special creates a pair of orbiting fireballs. You are still able to move while firing, allowing for a very evasive kiting-style of combat with quite reasonable damage output.

  • Dashing does not interrupt channeling.
  • Unlike other Ī© Moves, Ī© Attack is affected by Attack speed increase effect, such as Hermes' Nimble Limbs, Phase Shift's Alacrity, and Ares' Blood Drop.
  • Unlike other Ī© Moves, Ī© Attack is not affected by Eternity.
  • Night only affects only the first hit of Ī© Attack and does not affect the subsequent hits.
    • For Aspect of Eos, both Daybreaker and its Specials copy ability fully benefit from Night throughout their entire duration.
  • Ī© Attack is well-suited for certain boons and upgrades that synergize with fast-paced Ī© Attack or rely on the consistent use of Magick, especially benefiting abilities with short internal cooldowns (e.g., Hera's Fine Line, Zeus's Power Surge, Aphrodite's Heart Breaker, Athena's Righteous Pike, and Icarus' Explosive Intent).
    • This does not apply to Aspect of Eos, as the Daybreaker mechanic replaces the regular Ī© Attack.}
  • The additional Ī© Attack granted by Exceptional Talent does not trigger on-hit effects (e.g., Poseidon's Splash, Icarus' Explosive Intent). However, they can still apply status curses and activate certain boons that aren’t directly tied to the move itself, such as Zeus' Static Shock and Ares' Cut Above.
Special Press Special to fire a coiling spark.

Each Special lasts 2 Sec. before expiring

  • Spark does not cause hitstun.
  • Spark rotates based on your movement from where it was thrown.
  • The maximum number of Specials is capped at 5. Any new Specials will replace existing ones.

  • Sparks pierce through enemies.
  • Sparks rotate left or right depending on your movement
  • The maximum number of Specials is capped at 5. Any new Specials will replace existing ones.
  • The additional Sparks granted by Exceptional Talent do not trigger on-hit effects (e.g., Poseidon's Splash, Icarus' Explosive Intent). However, they can still apply status curses and activate certain boons that aren’t directly tied to the move itself, such as Zeus' Static Shock and Ares' Cut Above.

Auto-Fire Statistics[]

Move Combo Combo (if Magick is depleted) Notes
Attack Attack > Ī© Attack (repeat Ī© Attack) Attack > Attack > Attack (repeat)
  • Dashing does not interrupt the combo.
  • When Magick is depleted, the Attack > Attack > Attack (repeat) combo will include a slight pause after the third Attack before the sequence repeats.
  • The combo with Aspect of Eos has a modified iteration:
    • Use Attack > Ī© Attack (repeat Ī© Attack) until you summon Daybreaker. Once Daybreaker is active, switch to the Attack > Attack (repeat) combo. This Attack > Attack (repeat) combo will not be interrupted even when Daybreaker expires.
      • To summon a new Daybreaker, cancel the combo and hold the Attack button again to restart the sequence.
Special Ī© Special > Ī© Special (repeat) Special > Special (repeat) Currently Bugged: If Magick is below the minimum required for Ī© Special and the combo switches to its alternate version, it may interfere with Born Gain and Mortal Gain. Since this combo does not include or attempt to use Ī© Moves, these boons may not activate as intended, preventing proper Magick regeneration.
  • This issue can be avoided by using any other Ī© Moves, such as Ī© Cast, to correctly triggers these boons.

Upgrades[]

Icon Name Description Notes
Triple Helix Your Ī© Special creates +1 flame. The Triple Helix Daedalus Hammer still follows the cap of a maximum of 5 Specials sparks at a time. New Specials will replace existing ones if the cap is exceeded, limiting Ī© Special usage to two times per activation.
  • With Apollo's Exceptional Talent
    • Aspect of MelinoĆ« and Moros: The cap increases to 6 sparks, limiting Ī© Special usage to one time per activation.
    • Aspect of Eos: While two Daybreakers are active, the cap increases to 9 sparks, limiting Ī© Special usage to one time per activation.
Clean Helix You Channel your Ī© Special +20% faster, and it uses -10Magick. The Clean Helix Daedalus Hammer only affects the channeling speed and Magick cost of Ī© Special. It does not affect the animation speed of the Ī© Special itself.
Sustained Spark While you Channel your Attacks, you move and fire +20% faster. The Sustained Spark Daedalus Hammer increases the animation speed of your Ī© Attack, allowing for smoother and faster execution during channeling. It synergizes well with Hermes' Nimble Limbs and any effect that increases Attack Speed.
Melting Coil Your Specials destroy 20% of any Armor (based on the total).
Triple Comet Your Special fires +2 projectiles. The Triple Comet Daedalus Hammer still follows the cap of a maximum of 5 Specials sparks at a time. New Specials will replace existing ones if the cap is exceeded.
Mega Spark Your Attacks fire 20% farther and deal +30% damage.
Dividing Spark Your Attacks split in 2 the first time they strike foes.
  • Incompatible with Aspect of Moros
  • Incompatible with Aspect of Eos
Currently Bugged: The split sparks from Dividing Spark Daedalus Hammer can restore Magick via Hestia's Cardio Gain, even when fired via Ī© Attack.
Inverted Spark Your Attacks linger for +2 Sec. and launch back towards you after you Dash.
Clean Candle You Channel your Ī© Attack 50% faster, and it uses -1Magick. The Clean Candle Daedalus Hammer only affects the channeling speed and Magick cost of Ī© Attack. It does not affect the animation speed of the Ī© Attack itself.
Rising Coil Your Specials grow in size and deal up to +25% damage the longer they are active.
Whirling Coil Your Ī© Special projectiles orbit +40% faster. The Whirling Coil upgrade increases the orbiting speed of Ī© Special projectiles by 40%, but also reduces their duration by the same percentage.
  • This creates a trade-off when used with the Aspect of Moros: allowing for consistent Blast explosion timing at the cost of more frequent Ī© Special usage.
Leaden Spark Your Attacks knock foes away and have +10 Power.

Trivia[]

  • Ygnium could derive from the Latin word ignis, which means ā€œfireā€. The Latin suffix -ium (from Greek -ion) was historically used to form abstract nouns, but is now more commonly applied in chemistry to create the names of metal elements. Therefore, Ygnium could could be a fantastical, fire-based element.
  • The Aspect of Moros is the first second aspect of a weapon to belong to a future wielder among both games.
  • All the wielders of the flames also use this tool in popular mythology - both Moros and Eos are frequently depicted with twin torches, as well as some other divinities in Greek and other mythologies.
